Setting up a wordpress blog on your own domain on nearlyfreespeech.net is pretty easy (if you are a bit of a geek)

This is the guide I followed: https://members.nearlyfreespeech.net/wiki/Applications/WordPress

My only problem was that I mistakenly used “wordpress.com” instead of “wordpress.org” in the svn command…

I was trying to edit the .htaccess file myself, but that wasn’t working so I just changed the permissions and let wordpress do it for me, which worked perfectly.

The wordpress installer is very slick. I had to input the database settings in the config file, but after that it is literally a single page install form. Ages better than the last time I installed some web software.
